I don't have a black and white take on it.
In certain contexts, I can see the value. For example, if there were AI summaries (labeled as such) of linked content, that could be valuable.
However, many people value Stacker News because there's a lot to learn from really knowledgeable people here and AI posts undermine that.
Your last paragraph summarizes the same thing that I think, I have entered forums full of AI or spam, which makes me want to leave the forum since it feels little human and with little interaction, that is just what I do not want SN to become because if more and more content like this arrives, it can become a problem.

Me either. I read what I read, and if I think it is unauthentic I dont post anything on it. @CuriositiesInTheWorld seems to be AI, never really responds to any of its posts. I could be wrong, though.

I block anyone who seems to be gaming the system for any reason, not just AI generated.

That's good. I think there are a bunch of mechanisms that will limit this kind of thing on SN. There are probably much safer places to spam AI content.
